Overall rating 4.5 stars...
My reviews for :
Friday the 13th
The Fisherman's Son
(Re-read of course but also read these when Cameron released them via Facebook and his newsletter way before he announced this collection coming out)
Lady Bluebeard : 4.5 stars Interesting revelations of a sort... love how he mixed history once again with everything. It all makes a sort of twisted sense as you read each installment.. things are inter-connected and complex... delicious:)
Thirteen years of Snow : 3.5 stars Not as dark as I thought it'd be but still good. Sheds some light on a few things. Captain Ahab/John is one nasty bastard *glares*
Sun, Moon, and Sorrow : 3 stars, not as compelling as the others but still enjoyable
Spindle Spindle Little Star : Hello to Grandmother Madly, and an old friend :) So nice to see Jack again and see another of his adventures.
Overall, a good bunch of stories with a few surprises in store... this world is so much fun :)
Not much to say that I haven't said already but would highly recommend this.
Only quibble: some spelling and grammar errors in a few of the tales

OMG, this was so good, and I really mean good. When I start a new book by Cameron Jace I always know that I going to suffer, enjoy, laugh and cry but that doesn't matter because I always feel something different and new. With this particular book, I cry, and I don't cry easily with a book and was amazed by the BIG revelations. Every book by Cameron Jace is a masterpiece.

I love these prequels! They are our classic fairy tales all twisted up into new wondrous stories. I am a huge fan of Cameron Jace. I believe I own every book that he has out and I plan to buy any new ones that come out. I can't go wrong with one of his stories. Once I start, I don't want to put the book down until it is finished. This set of prequels is no different. I love them and can't wait for the next set!

Where do I begin?
What really frustrates me is that Cameron Jace has an ability to give me answers but then to leave me confused at the end. I mean what happens next? How does this help Beast. And why is it, that every time I try to think ahead, the book is always (and I mean ALWAYS) two steps ahead of me. I have read all of Cameron Jace books. I have gotten use to the wacky style and when I think I know something. I actually don't. Cameron Jace gave these characters a history, feelings, life. That cannot be figured out in the amount of pages, that is given to you. I highly suggest that you start from the beginning because if you start out of order, you wont get it. You wont get that, its how the characters act. They are crazy. They have a backstory that made them who they are!! Sometimes i think that Cameron, himself, doesn't even know what is going on!! The characters truly do take life. Like they actually wrote their dairies themselves. Cameron Jace. Thank you for giving me this awesome piece of literature.

Prequels
If you have read all the other diaries and prequels this is a must. With only a few editing errors it answers some questions while bring you more. I can't wait for the Piper Diaries

I say this with a loving heart, the stories are there - but this author needs an editor. There are sentences, especially in the last prequel, that are completely unintelligible. There are grammatical errors scattered throughout. I love these stories; I've read all the prequels and two of the main books and will be working my way through the rest, but some changes could be made to elevate these books.
April 29, 2018
Overall enjoyed the prequels all together as a whole. Brought up a lot of questions to how the stories could all fit together. A lot of characters all tied into the stories. Some people more than one character that changed over time.
Favorite of the set: Lady Bluebeard.
Least favorite: Spindle, Spindle little star

Still same problem
A great series ruined by bad editing. If he has a group reading these before publishing Mr Jace must not be implementing their critiques.

Another AWESOME installment of prequels!
Yet again Jace has whet the appetite of us readers with showing us more insight into the characters of the DREAMWORLD aka Kingdom of Sorrow! Answering some of our questions with the origins of characters, but it just leaves us with more QUESTIONS! Absolutely love how the prequels are unfolding and the hints of what's to come!!!!! If you haven't been reading the Grimm Prequels START NOW you won't be disappointed!!!! Waiting impatiently for the next set of GRIMM PREQUELS!!!!!

What can I say? Cameron Jace just cant do any wrong! I have yet to dive deep into his novels but his short stories are to die for! Always looking forward to new prequels and new characters <3

I would love to give all books in this series four stars, but the narrating just isn't as good as what I have read in other books :( Also i find the editing errors quite annoying. There are also some things that don't make sense if you look at the other diaries. I feel like these aren't the kind of books i should read, especially the main series. I can't learn anything from them, and somehow it feels more like I'm watching episodes of once upon a time (or some other series) instead of really reading a book, but you know what ? I like the stories so I'm giving it four stars anyways, because the story keeps getting stuck in my mind and make me wonder about the characters:) It is like indulging in candy that you know is not healthy for you.

Loved it,loved it,loved it,didn't want it to end. Left me with more questions than answers but that's more fun. Can't wait for the next set of prequel. You have done a brilliant job Mr jace. The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the beasts notes at the end of each chapter,after reading the previous prequels it just felt a little odd,but I will get over it only because I love the Grimm diaries so much
November 18, 2016
OMG... I loved it!!! Of course I couldn't put them down and wish he had more for me to read, but can't wait for the author to write again.... the stories seem so real... I want to know what happens to the characters... it feels like each character is intertwined with one another... I can't wait until we finally see what happens next!!! Just wish I didn't have to wait that long!!!

These is a series of stories which makes the Grimm stories look massively optimistic. They deal with many of the fairy-tale people such as Captain Hook, Long John Silver, Jack and Jill and many others. They look at the in-depth stories of their lives and many of them turn out to be pretty darn nasty. It all makes for a good and enjoyable read.

Mind blowing
I always give short reviews because I know of I say what I want I will end of giving away the entire book. This was a awesome read I'm just waiting for me. It's so great to get more in site one the lost seven ....this book was amazeballs

I thoroughly enjoy these stories but I still want to know what happened after Blood, Milk & Chocolate - Part 2 (The Grimm Diaries Book 4). Enough of the prequels for now - tie up those other loose ends.

Great fun!
What a wild romp! The fairy tale realm reimagined somewhat dark, but, oh! so fun. Some minor copy editing errors, the storyline is incredibly tight though. Minor pop culture references may limit the long term shelf life.
I need to read much more from this author.
